Migori Senator Eddy Oketch issued a seven-day ultimatum to the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) leadership, demanding a response to allegations of constitutional violations by Secretary-General Edwin Sifuna. Following this, ODM Party Leader Oburu Oginga met with Sifuna after a petition to expel the Nairobi Senator from the party was withdrawn. The meeting focused on party unity and growth. According to political analyst Alenga Torosterdt, the ODM is at risk of losing its traditional strongholds due to such internal divisions. These events come three months after the passing of Raila Odinga. Separately, the Jubilee Party leadership, led by Deputy Party Leader Fred Matiang’i, defended former President Uhuru Kenyatta against attacks from a faction within the ODM Party.
